Private Lenders asking for a "retainer" or "due diligence" fee
Are lenders who are asking for a "retainer" or "due diligence" fee a real thing? Sounds, like another scam for real estate investors who are looking for money or need money as easy prey. Can someone explain that process or is it just smoke???
